Why is it important for public health workers and healthcare professionals to understand Minnesota’s legislative process? Where are the opportunities for our input? How can we effectively make our voices heard by policymakers?

Join this nonpartisan lunchtime legislative training series to learn digestible, shareable, and actionable knowledge about our state’s legislative process. This series is co-hosted by the Minnesota Public Health Association, Minnesota Rural Health Association, and Minnesota Oral Health Coalition.

In this month's session, we will assess how SFFA reinforces structural racism, provide examples of how it will worsen health inequities experienced by communities of color, and demonstrate why SFFA should not be dismissed as a case with limited impact on students seeking admissions to elite colleges. We will also look at recommendations for moving forward in a legal landscape that is increasingly hostile to the express use of race with a proposal for developing race-neutral criteria that promote racial equity.

Looking for ways to get involved? Why not join the Membership & Communications Committee?

The committee focuses on membership development and recruitment. The committee is
co-chaired by Ellen Saliares, Past President and Dr. Tolu Oyelowo, Member at Large.
All are welcome! Join us for our next meeting.

A great way to get involved in MPHA is to join one of our formal committees or special interest groups!

You can choose to spend as little or as much of your time on participating in ongoing committee activities, attending meetings (conference call options available), or assisting with one-time projects and events.

Established in 1907, MPHA is a volunteer driven organization representing a broad spectrum of community and health professionals on behalf of the public. It is an organization where public health workers from multiple disciplines and sectors come together around shared values and goals. We engage and develop our members to mobilize the community to protect and improve the public’s health.
